A high-contrast serif italic with razor-thin hairlines and weighty, tapered main strokes. The forms lean strongly and feel drawn with a pointed-pen sensibility: entry and exit strokes are threadlike, while downstrokes swell smoothly into crisp terminals. Serifs are delicate and often implied through sharp, wedge-like finishing rather than heavy bracketed feet, giving the letters a sleek, polished silhouette. Uppercase shapes include occasional ornamental loops and interior flourishes, and the lowercase shows a compact x-height with long ascenders/descenders that create an airy, vertical rhythm. Numerals follow the same calligraphic contrast, with a mix of simple forms and occasional swash-like curves.
Best suited for headlines, mastheads, pull quotes, and upscale branding where its contrast and swash details can be appreciated. It can add a refined, formal tone to invitations, packaging, and title treatments, and works well when given generous size and clean background contrast.
The overall tone is luxurious and theatrical, with a couture/editorial feel. Its sharp contrast and graceful swashes suggest sophistication and ceremony, leaning more toward display elegance than utilitarian text setting.
The design appears intended as a statement serif italic that merges modern high-fashion contrast with calligraphic ornamentation. It prioritizes elegance, gesture, and recognizable letterform personality for display-centric typography.
Spacing appears relatively tight in running text, and the most decorative capitals and a few lowercase forms introduce expressive, signature-like moments. The design’s thin hairlines and fine joins give it a sparkling delicacy, especially at larger sizes.
